Run Away

Chapter 1- Welcome!

Hi! My name is Jacob. I am an orphan. My parents were kidnapped when I was 3 months old. I know this because that is the only thing I can remember about my family. I guess it's like a vivid memory. My friend Simon lives in the orphanage on the other side of the street. We want to run away from our orphanage homes! We both struggle alot. It's filled with so many children, that we hardly ever get any care; or attention. I always had to try steal things from the nearby bakery! Simon and I met one day when him and I both were trying to steal a big piece of bread. We ended up sharing it. To this day, we meet behind the bakery every Thursday to share some bread. Every Thursday, both our orphanage mothers are going out. So we are alobe at home. My orphanage mother is extremely dtrict. She is an insane perfectionist! My dide of the room always HAS to be the cleanest. I am the oldest in my orpahange home. I was the first orphan to arrive at the orphanage home. That is when I had had care. Now it's different. There are 12 other kids in the orphange home. It's absolute chaos!!!!

The next day, I got up at 7.00 am. Today is the day the day that I run away. I got changed into some spare clothes. I quietly tiptoed down to the kitchen and grabbed food for later. I placed it in my bag. I also packed some clothes, a comb, a map, mint, and an old photo of me and my family. It brought me to tears just seeing myself with a family. I wuickly wiped my tears away, grabbed my bag, and headed out the door. I ran outside. It's cold!!!!! I ran to the bakery. Simon was already there, waiting for me. As usual, he is always the first one there. I can't blame him. His orphanage home is ALOT rougher than mine! He tries to sneak out whenever he can!!!

"Hey" I did huffing and puffing. "Hi" Simon said excited.
